Inspiration and Information for your Tabletop

This summer pudding was beautifully plated on Tafelstern Showpieces as part of the July 2011 Deep Plate Exercise.

Mogogo was created in the space where cooking meets design. When a Cordon Bleu-trained chef met an industrial designer inside that space, the concept for Mogogo buffet solutions was formed.

When you put things together and wind up with something greater than the sum of the parts, by definition, it's a synergy. When those parts are varied and diverse but still capable of creating a synergy, they can be classified as sundries. This is the case with the new Sundry Collection from BauscherHepp.

We didn't know grilled cheese could look so good. In this Deep Plate exercise from October 2009, Kelly G. Mullarney showed us how to use Tafelstern Showpieces for both savory and sweet applications.

There are no rules for setting a tabletop. From colors to materials, you have the freedom to create a unique dining experience for your guests, and the only limit is your imagination. In many environments, tabletop uniformity is important for branding, overall theme, and consistency. But what about foodservice operations who want to mix things up a bit?

When you think of buffets, you think about the ability to serve large groups of people quickly and efficiently. While this is a positive for operations in the buffet or banquet business, it also poses several issues, especially in terms of warming.

Mogogo's modular system is extending its line of special tabletops. Discover the new cooking station for your hotel, restaurant, banquet hall, and food and beverage events. Existing class large units can easily be converted to a cooking station by simply replacing the tabletop with this new stainless steel tabletop complete with integrated drop-in cooking inductions.

Dining with dignity is an essential part of a successful patient experience. But it doesn't exist in a vacuum. It takes thought, preparation, and a commitment to providing service that is both safe and enjoyable.

When we sit down for a meal, there are periphery elements that can make it more enjoyable. Some are visual and add a unique aesthetic, like candles or flowers, while others are actually edible, like bread.

Flatware is available in different finishes for a reason. With options come different aesthetics, and each one has a unique place depending on the type of restaurant or foodservice operation. From smooth, matte to a jewelry-inspired metallic finish, we've seen them all. However, one finish stands out as being perfectly imperfect, the stonewashed finish.
